Hello,
I know that there are several Axe-based Falldown games out there, but I've always thought they were a bit slow. So I made my own. It runs just as fast as the original, and I'll post it as soon as I'm able to get it off my calc.
-
Wait a moment. There was an original?
I thought it was one of those games that just spawned out of nowhere...
-
Well, I mean pure-asm versions.
-
There was indeed an original Falldown for the 83+ back in 1999 or 2000 I think
Calc84maniac made one that looks similar in Axe back in March. It's in the Your projects: post and critique thread. I think it was slightly slower, though. Builderboy made one as well but it was much slower.
-
So you mean it runs as fast as pure Asm versions of Falldown?
Edit: Ninja'd. (Don't know the emote for this one)
-
will you include the source?
-
Here are the other Axe falldown clones btw:

I like how I ended up using exactly the same tile sprites in my version...
Also, DJ, do you keep videos of every calculator game in existence, or do you just have epic searching skills?
-
I will include the source, yes.

Well they're pretty standard in terms of Falldown games, so it's kinda expected they'll be re-used. As you can notice, Calc84maniac used them too :P.
As for the video, I made that video so I knew what keywords to search for. If you check my Youtube account, I got many calc videos too:

Didn't Cooliojazz or someone make one too? Like you could change the tiles or the ball or something like that, or am I crazy?
-
Oh yea I remember now. It looked cool, although it seemed a bit slow in terms of scrolling.
-
Ya, it was pretty cool. Don't remember a whole lot about it though.
-
Maybe this?

I think it starts to scroll faster the longer you play.
It wasn't very good.
-
Oh ya, I forgot about that one. But there was another one too.

Nah it was a different one. I think there's a clip of it in the Axe Tribute video. I wish I could find the actual post. You might have to search all posts by Cooliojazz.
-
Are we sure it was done by Coolio?
-
I'm making one too. It should be done in the next few days. :)
-
Found it! (http://ourl.ca/416120)
-
Ah here is it. I was sure it was made much more recently, though o.o
-
I remember calc84's wasnt it a complete clone of the original falldown?
-
It was, minus the title screen.
